I kind of wish they hadn't. Ahrefs claims to be in the "SEO" business, which as far as I'm concerned, has helped ruin web search, and indeed, the culture of the web in general.
Also, Ahrefs bot doesn't handle some things very well. I made an "infinite web site" in PHP a while back, and used Apache mod_rewrite to send every Ahrefs request to the infinite web site PHP program: https://github.com/bediger4000/infinite-fake-website https://github.com/bediger4000/infinite-fake-website
Ahrefs bot really freaked out, unlike some professional bots like Google's, and even Yandex' bot.

- bediger4000 4y agoDo you really think they act any differently? They're in the SEO business, which is directly parasitic. They're not going to spend money improving their software, that's a cost center, not a money maker.
